Oriental Touch in Torbay - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We went as a family group of 9. The buffet is we found quite limited. There is nothing wrong with the food, just a lot of beige.... not much in the way of vegetables. Good selection of desserts. For the money, it's not bad, but not great. Wouldn't bother again.

What a great experience from start to finish with a large dining area we was sited quickly even tho place was nearly full. Once seated we went up to grab our 1st plate and there was a nice variety to choose from and all food was hot. There was also dessert to grab at the end staff were friendly and quick to clean ur old plates spot on clean place too thanks

The food was cold not even warm the drinks are flat and it was a very disappointing visit

Nice please for a Sunday afternoon after church

Best chinese buffet experience we have ever had and we've had a few,absolutely fantastic.be worth the trip from Leeds just to eat here

5 star service & food! All staff were very lovely, food was really good. Got a very good selection and a lot to choice from. We are looking forward to go back. From Team Speedy Bin

We went whilst here on holiday as we fancied a Chinese, their was plenty of food choices for starters. Mains and deserts, clientele a bit rough and ready but decent food for £16.95 each and it was clean

Nice buffet with plenty of choice

Another great visit to this restaurant. Food was lovely, and although the staff had at least 3 large groups in for birthday parties, they still kept up with great service, keeping everything clean, food stocked up and bar service. Excellent!

Looks like they have had a recent refurbished. Nice new seats, toilets, tables etc. the food is very tasty and hot. Free parking on site. The staff are friendly and helpful. Great place to try new items. We eat Chinese food regularly, and there is plenty of choice, and it is very good quality. We would return again and recommend

Just been to our first Chinese buffet and what an experience this place is. Very busy, felt like a canteen full of Chinese food. So many people on a Saturday night we couldn’t get parked in their large car park. But the value is astonishing! Clearly not high quality but good enough to feed a hungry family for a great price, with unlimited visits to the food trollies. Theres loads to choose from snd its piping hot and constantly filled up. The staff are quick to clear your empty plates, then off you go again to the trolley for round 2,3,4 whatever! You will defo be super full after a visit here. Would rate it 6/10 so gave it 3 stars on TA

I was surprised how long the queue was at this restaurant on Saturday night, and I said I'd give it a try. I'm a fan of Asian cuisine, but I was disappointed. Food f little but mostly tasteless, do you taste the food before serving it? Try the mushrooms, the beef or the pasta which I expect to be great. It's not worth the money. Specifically, I'm not picky about food, and I eat almost anything. But I have taste 😊

Somedays I come here multiple times a week the food is so good. I could potentially go broke eating here with how addicting the food is. 5 stars

Hit and miss at weekends, but during quieter time's food is good and hot. Plenty of choice

Very nice. Clean and tidy. Prices very reasonable. Would highly recommend it.

Always a great selection of food

went for a family meal here not going back! the food was cold and tasted old the meat was gristley and full if bones, all 4 of us had bad stomachs and 2 of us was sick! could not get any of the staff to take another drink order and when I went up to bar staff was rude! I was really disappointed as we have been coming here since it opened. overall I think the place is very dirty iv heard now other people have been ill going here. definitely do Not recommend!

Very nice place, the price including drink about 20pound person at evening ,it was busy when I went there I saw the waitresses were trying their best to serve， the food was delicious, will come again

Nice food but can get too busy 5-7 with plates not getting cleared.

this place has gone down hill so bad now no standard of service at all food tastes old and grisly I found bones in the duck was so bad I was nearly sick not advising anyone to go there now dirty plates and glasses all over the place food on the floor! it's a dump now compared to what it was like 12 years ago.

When on holidays (6 weeks twice a year) my husband and I came EVERY week but since his recent death I still go twice a week on my own ..I love this pkace ..the food choices suit my taste and if you want something without a sauce or just plain boiled rice ..ASK..they will do it for you ...nothing is too much trouble fir them

Good choice of dishes. Fast and efficient service.

Suddenly hungry and where better to go on a rainy day. A very large selection of food, particularly sweet and sour chicken, lemon chicken... Large dessert, fruit jelly and ice cream selection and bowls of sweets 😁

Fabulous buffet of food. Variety for all diets and ages.

Love this place and love how the owners have built it up over the years. The food is always fresh and hot. A good selection of food. Recommend you book a table at the weekend as it does get very busy. You do have to pay when you enter. Always a regular visitor here.

Food was excellent, great choice, meat and vegetarian dishes. Very clean. Recommended if you want to try Chinese food, but need just a little bit to try, all you can eat buffet.

Not the best Chinese we've ever had.

I was a bit dubious of this place to begin with as I am with most buffet places but this place was worth it the food was yummy and the staff were constantly topping up or changing food over so it was always fresh. It was very very busy so I would recommend booking a table in advanced.

This place is epic for food. Service is slack, and the restaurant itself needs a good clean but if you're not too precious it's fab! Although someone seems to have stolen the tab in the ladies loos along with the radiator 🤣

Always a great place for food, service is efficient and friendly too.

Excellent food and friendly staff as always, highly recommended.

First time coming here after being in the bay for 10 years, definitely recommend as it was very clean and food was great. Alot to choose from. With be definitely can't coming again.

We try and go here about once a month. The food is delicious and the staff are super friendly. Lots to choose from the buffet.

Great place to eat every time we go Devon we eat here

The Chinese buffet offers a wide variety of dishes. Some food was little dry, and it's a little pricey, but overall, it's a satisfactory snd we still left felling happy and full.

Not sure if new owners but service was not that good , the was a woman behind the till she's the first person you see, if felt like we were a inconvenience being there no hello she asked what drinks we wanted which she repeated to us and told to go to a table, the food was as good as always ,but when the drinks came they where wrong , the waiter was miserable and clearly didn't want to be there no apology for getting our order wrong , he went away and said the women on door put then though wrong and told us they wanted another £2.30 if we wanted the correct drink , again no apology nothing we went to pay and the machine didn't work so we had to go to the door way to pay the extra leaving the food to go cold on the table , the waiter was appalling and no point did he apologise for there mistake, no staff seemed happy working there I have been visiting there since it opened many years ago , but I am not sure if I will go again , I can only think it changed owners it was alwsys fantastic there plus they have really put the prices up it was £17 on a Sunday and nearly £20 rest of the time so I may as well order a take away at that price

The kids fancied a chinese we came here for when it opened at 17.00 and it was packed, cant complain ur typical chinese buffet, the kids absolutley loved the dessert section with the choclatw fountain with all the sweets, and to be fair so did i

Went here on Thursday with mum and brother. They never seize to impress. So much choice and everything cook to perfection. Great food defo recommended

Best food ever! Freshly cooked buffet and really good value

First time visitor, the Oriental Touch is a fantastic place, superb choice of food, excellent atmosphere, and the food was perfect. Highly recommend.

We go there quite often. We love the food never been disappointed.

Great staff good value good topped up constantly and hot. No problems here at all. Great value clean environment and toilets. Recommended fully.

All depends on the day and time off day. Hit and miss

Very nice, food always refreshed.

Best Chinese buffet ever. So much variety, all delicious and very reasonable price. Very happy to recommend

First time visiting,great choice of food,very clean,staff very helpful and great customer service,plenty of options to chose from and food was delicious

Not too impressed with food, salty and too saucy. Selection is quite limited. Drinks not cheap, £3 Pepsi not refillable. Was only a tenner or so for lunch so good value if you want a lot of food

Excellent place for a cheap lunchtime feast. Plenty of choice, decent range of delicious food, staff constantly refilling trays so the food is generally hot. Visited on a damp Wednesday in April and there was hardly an empty table so word has obviously got around.

Have eaten here before and still very happy with choice and freshness of the menu ,will call again Staff are very friendly too

We are sure that dishes can be good and presentable but just not at the same time or moment, several dishes are not replenished and for customers wanting to experience all the dishes to sample empty containers fail to provide a great dining experience or enjoyment for all. Staff were polite and helpful unless you requested a dish to be replenished etc.

Went last night got food poseing been up most off night being sick and today my stomach is bad never will I return

We needed to eat and chose this place - good choice. For a buffet restaurant the food was good and hot and there was a good choice. The restaurant was pleasant to eat in - quiet yet there were lots of customers.

All good apart from the super slippery floor ??

I came here on a Thursday evening while visiting the area, arriving 15 minutes early and there were already people waiting for the doors to open! When you go in you pay in advance and order your drinks which then get brought to whichever table you choose to sit on. A large selection of various starters, main courses and also a good selection of cakes, ice cream etc for afters. All the food was lovely apart from the shredded duck for the pancakes which two of the three of us found small bits of bone in. Service was spot on and it is obviously very popular as the flow of people arriving did not stop while we were there. Total bill for three, with pints of fizzy drinks was under £60 - great value for money! Will definitely give it another try next time I am in the area.

Thank you for such good food with very accessible prices. My son asked me to give you 6 stars. Thank you to the lady who praised him for eating with chopsticks and to all the team working on Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Sorry food awful was my favourite Chinese restaurant but it’s gone downhill food cold sweet n sour chicken hard chicken. chow mein ugh chicken curry hardly any taste chicken satay used to be on a stick and hot and tender chicken bits now like bricks very disappointing no deserts apart from Swiss rolls ice cream, jelly tinned fruit And kids sweets nah not for me

Been for mother's day. Queue to be seated. No blame, no booking were taken this day so the restaurant can get more customers. Packed. I don't mind. That means fresh food topped up regularly. We always enjoy.

Good food, friendly staff and affordable prices.

Have eaten here a few times and it’s always good, lots to choice from and they are alway refilling with fresh hot food!Smiling Service Would alway recommend to anyone

Food did taste nice and was a good experience but unfortunately I had food positioning. So the experience in the restaurant was good up until 11pm and still very poorly now. Don't think I will risk coming back here but hopefully the owners are aware and make sure food reheated properly or cooked properly I was the only one who had the duck and egg fried rice with meat it. Shame food was good staff was amazing just can't leave a good review due to health and safety needs to be made aware

Staff was great food was fine until I got home ans got food positioning. So unfortunately I won't be returning and still very ill now. I was the only one wo eat the duck and egg fried rice with meat in

Excellent value and food with amazing choices

Good selection of food and services is always great.

So today we decided to visit this buffet restaurant and have heard good reviews about it. I must admit, we were never disappointed having lunch here. They have their own free parking which is obviously a plus. The place is clean and the food is decent. The taste was good for the price I must admit and there were loads of people as well who went there to have lunch. They also have soups and desserts for no extra cost. You pay for your buffet meal for only £10 I think and the drink is separately charged. Overall, it was worth the drive since we were from Exeter.

Best Chinese buffet ever a great atmosphere and the best desert bar in Devon 5 stars deserved

First time here. Buffet, eat as much as you like. Lots of different dishes, excellent value. Clean, staff work very hard keeping tables clean and relaying for new customers. Can be a bit noisy and busy but overall it's a good place to eat. Will definitely go again.

Very nice Chinese restaurant. Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Nothing to complain about whatsoever!

Havent had a bad one yet. Recomend to go of a lunchtime. Plenty to chose from.

Great place to enjoy the dining with family.. Affordable buffet prices.. Great ambience.. Variety of food selection.. Worth value for money.. Enjoyed alot..

came here tonight. cost just over £50. my husband had half a plate of food but only ate 2 spoon fuls off of it, as he has had throat cancer takes him a long time to eat, we offered to pay for a pot to take the food away with us. after me having a plate and him 2 mouthfuls off a plate. they refused. said they would not give it unless we ordered take away. we explained about the throat cancer and explained we would pay extra to just be able to take the half a plate of food yet denied. disgusting service. would never reccommend if you cant eat anything.

Luke warm food. Low quality food. There are better restaurants to spend your money and time at. We won't be returning to Oriental touch.

We were apprehensive before coming here after reading some of the negative and inarticulate reviews. A canteen style venue offering a bottomless buffet feast. Good value but they need to update the prices on their website to reflect the recent modest increases. A wide range of choices. Good quality and flavours. Pay upfront which we would expect and makes sense. The crew can be fearsome but this restaurant is well managed. Poor quality wines on offer so we stuck with good old tap water. Piling the plates high appears undignified but more satisfying to visit the buffet little and often. A busy early Sunday evening popular with families. 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

All the hot food was cold, not sure if there was a problem with their buffet server. The restaurant also was cold to sit in..could do with more central heating. Such a shame as we used to enjoy going to this place, but we will not return

DONT GO HERE !!! this was the absolute worst Chinese I have ever had the food was cross contaminated with peanuts and kids hands in the food gave me bad tummy squits all night the drinks were a joke unless you like a whole glass of ice and no lime in your lemon and lime the food was cold and had no taste compared to other Chinese restaurants I can’t even give it a one star we had to find our own way to the table sat down and had chairs whipped away for other tables other people around us didn’t look very happy either would definitely never go back and this has put me off buffet Chinese forever

I can’t eat much, but my Nan wanted to go. I paid £14 and ate minimal. I asked if. I could take my plate of food away to be greeted with , YOU PAY EXTRA £11 , YOU SHOULD NOT COME IF YOU CANT EAT. I tried to explain but she just went to another member of staff and spoke Chinese , looked and laughed at me, bloody joke. Won’t be going there again !

Very tasty food as always. Lovely large selection of dishes for a lunchtime.

Sorry to say was not impressed Most of the food was hard and over cooked Did not enjoy our meals all four of us said the same

Visited here for the first time for my partners birthday and wow!! The staff were very friendly and the food plentiful, varied and fresh. Will definitely visit again.

Good good as always. Me and my brother love to go here a lot. Service is always quick and lovely. The atmosphere is always clean andoriental like

The staff work so hard and the food is very good. Gyōza delicious.

Lovely friendly staff and good choice of dishes . Good value for money. Tables and seating is basic but comfortable with space between. Can be a bit chilly if seated near entrance as people tend to hold door open while queuing o enter

Considering that this is medium size buffet, the variety of food is guite impressive, everything was fresh and warm (some dishes even hot), empty trays were replaced very quickly, dirty plates vere collected straight away (no piles of dity plates on the tables). The only thing management may consider for the future development is to add the teppanyaki grill, where customers could choose the raw food (chicken, beef, squid, prawns, peppers, mushrooms, noodles etc) to be grilled for them with the sauces of their choice. We have visited many Chinese buffets, and this was one of the best ones. One of the places on favourite list, we will definitely return to.

All you can eat It's an offer not a challenge so I've been told

We as a family love the Oriental Touch restaurant, any special occasions and we all go here, plenty of choices and there is always something for everyone's own taste and dietary requirements. Staff are always so welcoming even when really busy they do their best to accommodate you. I recommend all the dishes they make and even do a section for kids with sausages,chips,nuggets etc available. To be totally honest it's not everyone's idea of a place to go for a special celebration but we as a family love it. I could write so much more , but I think you got to try and make up your own minds 👍😁 Booking is recommended on a weekend night Fri/sat. Just be aware ( because of a few runners) you are now asked to pay up front which we definitely don't find is a problem. Drinks you order and pay as you go.

Very much a canteen style buffet, but great variety of dishes. Everything is regularly checked and refreshed. Great choice of desserts too! Good for kids, they love the self service bit.

Food is lovely for buffet. Best I've had in this price range in Devon.

Best food ever, go on, give it a try, you wont be disappointed, it's definitely a winner

Good food, well priced friendly staff

Great quality food and plenty of it. The team works really hard to make sure the food choices are always regularly restocked! Very popular, too, so book your table early!

One of my favourite places to eat. Staff are on their A game 24/7, the food is consistently delicious, it's always clean and tidy and the price is a steal for what you get. 10/10.

Good food, but prices have gone up. Still reasonable value for money though.

Excellent service, nice food, low price

The food was so salty to taste.. Spent all night wanting a drink.. Real shame cos value is great. Stuff not engaging and had the pay for drinks as we went..

Avoid avoid. Front of house service shocking full price for children and no respect for disabilities. Rude WALKED OUT

Visited on a Tuesday afternoon around 13:00. The place was not overly busy. Food was very fresh and plenty from all choices available and very delicious. The place is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. We'll ve visiting again for sure.

Perfect place to go with family or friends.

Quirky due to their systems and strictness on paying first and assuming you know the process of the venue but good food! Worth going to and value for money

Great food at a reasonable price. My advice would be go a bit later, say 1900 on if you don't fancy hoards of young children running around, but honestly that's the only downside there is.

Have come here a few times this year and never any issues always been lovely warm food and well worth the money but came today and get there at 12.15 they open at 12 dished up our food and the food was cold! Really disappointed wont be coming back anytime soon

A very good Chinese buffet. I visited on a Sunday afternoon with friends and there were plenty of tables available. The staff were very friendly, payment is required up front before we were given a table number. The restaurant is clean and the food is replenished frequently. The variety of dishes was smaller than other Chinese buffets I've been to l, but I found the food itself to be much better quality. My particular favourites were the crispy wontons, sweet and sour chicken and pork in plumb sauce which was absolutely delicious. The meal was very well priced and the drinks were reasonable as well. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and will be looking forward to visiting again.
